Newton's Laws of Motion are three physical laws that describe the behavior of objects in motion. They were formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th century and are the foundation of classical mechanics.
Newton's Laws are applied in various ways in everyday life, such as driving a car, riding a bike, or throwing a ball. These laws help us understand how objects move and interact with each other.
Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. This means that objects will not change their state of motion unless a force is applied to them.
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration produced. This can be calculated using the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. An example of this is when you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal force. Another example is the recoil of a gun when a bullet is fired.
